This program provides junior and high school students with 30 weeks of instruction in acting, movement, and voice. Students collaborate with teachers, a composer, and a playwright to create an original piece of theater. Artist specialists such as costume, set and lighting designers join the process in layers during the course of the work to further collaborate in making a full production. A class in design will be offered as an optional supplement for those who are interested in design and technical aspects of production. Classes are held three evenings per week, beginning in October and continuing through May. Free public performances are held in May at Plaza de la Raza and at REDCAT.
